Our predecessors dedicated their time towards building the company as the most professionally-run organisation in its industry. Through shared vision and solid teamwork, Kooheji Contractors has created an exceptional place to work and more importantly a solid foundation as a company that can be trusted by all stakeholders. Today, we are proud and delighted to appreciate that we have truly accomplished this together, as a team and at every level, by always conducting our business honestly and ethically.

Our founding fathers’ were hardworking, resourceful entrepreneurs who measured their own character and conduct by how well they applied the simple belief, “Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.” The fact that this credo is found in virtually every major culture around the world shows the universal acceptance of this philosophy. Today, this ‘Golden Rule’ remains the cornerstone of Kooheji’s Core Values as we continually strive to integrate its practices with our goal of rewarding careers, building individual character, and growing a respective and profitable business. We continue a long working philosophy of respecting our employees, considering them as the most valuable asset of the organization while respecting our commitments with our customers by meeting and exceeding their expectations.
